Discussion

This piece is very similar to no. 6 and, like it, resembles the shaft, Levisham 1 (Ills. 631–4). It may be the narrow face of a shaft. Some slightly later Danish rune-stones have similar scrolled terminals, like that from Vor Frue church, Århus (Fuglesang 1980, no. 86, pl. 51), representing a similar basic embellishment.
